I found it by searching “pub food” on Google Maps. I remember reading the reviews and seeing something about draft IPA, but maybe I misread it, or it changed, or the reviews got mixed up. Anyway, the draft beer they had was just the standard Uzbek beers. As for the pub food option, there was something like overly greasy chicken wings that didn’t sound appealing, and also some sausage. I ordered the sausage, and it tasted like a supermarket sausage. When I paid the bill, I found out they added about 25% of the sausage’s price just for a few slices of tomato on the plate, plus a 10% service fee. Overall, it felt too pricey and not tasty for a basic beer and snack experience.

It served its purpose. Everything was as it should be, but nothing particularly special. The room was also a bit too small. The glass door (with a curtain that provided the necessary privacy) allowed some light in, but my eyes still searched for even a small window — its absence made me feel slightly confined overall. My guess is that the pricing isn’t really based on the room size or the quality of service, but rather on the general market trend where similar hotels offer similar rates. The hotel owner was helpful and supportive.
